Patented Apr. 20, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE REGULATOR Henry C. Kestel, Toledo, Ohio, assignor to The Myers Regulator 00., Toledo, Ohio 1 Claim.

This application relates to gearing devices and more particularly to a gearing device which has been developed for use as the operating means for a pivotally mounted window and this application is a division of my prior application, Se-

rial No. 705,183 filed January 4, 1934.

In that application there is disclosed a window having on its trunnions opposite edges, one of which is to be operatively connected to a static-nary device which journals and supports the thus trunnioned edge of the window and is so formed as to enable a user to rotate the window on its trunnion axis by means of a handle of the device. This application relates specifically to such device.

For an understanding of the device, reference may be had to the accompanying drawing in which:

Fig. 1 shows the device partly in section and in front view.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device.

Fig. 3 is asection as if on line 33 of Fig. l.

A stationary part is indicated at II]. On this part is fixedly mounted a bracket ll through 5 which passes a shaft l2, the latter being formed with a squared recess i l for receiving a squared trunnion of a window or the like whereby rotation of the shaft l2 will cause a trunnion received therewithin to be rotated on the axis of the 30 shaft. The shaft I2 is restrained against axially shifting with respect to the bracket I l by means of a pinion l5 fixed to the shaft and disposed above a plate I 6 to which is secured a second plate 11, the two plates forming a housing Iii-l1 for the pinion IS, with the shaft I2 being journalled in the bracket and in the housing.

The edges of the plates |B-|'l are spaced to permit the pinion I 5 to pass therebetween as indicated in Fig. 3 and these edges are provided with flanges I8 which together form a base plate cooperating with a plate l9 to form a housing |8--l9 for a scroll 2| meshing with the pinion l5. Journalled in a boss 22 of the plate I9 is a shaft 23 to one of whose ends is fixed the scroll and to the other one of whose ends is fixed a handle, not shown.

(Cl. I l-424.5)

It is understood that the plates l6--l1 and I8|9 are intersecured in pairs by means of lugs formed on the plates I'll9 projecting through slots of and clinched over the plates l6-l8.

When the shaft 23 is rotated, the scroll will rotate therewith, and meshing with the pinion l 5, will cause the latter and the shaft l2 fixed thereto torotate about the axis of the shaft.

It will be observed that the two housings together form a single, T shaped housing within which are all of the operating parts of the device, and that the T cross bar housing l8l 9 is adapted to form an escutcheon for a recess receiving the T leg housing l6--ll.

For limiting travel of the pinion l5 there may be provided on and secured to the housing plate [6 a pin 26 received within a recess 21 of the pinion.

Now having described the device embodying the invention of this application, reference will be had to the claim which follows for definitions of the invention.

I claim:

An operating device comprising vertically and horizontally disposed meshing gear elements mounted to rotate on horizontal and vertical axes, respectively, horizontally and vertically disposed shafts fixed coaxially to said elements respectively and rotating therewith, the vertically disposed element being between the horizontal element and the horizontal shaft, horizontally and vertically disposed housings for the horizontally and vertically disposed elements respectively, the vertical housing comprising a large plate and two smaller coplanar spaced plates, with the vertical gear element being between the large plate and the two smaller plates, and with the horizontal gear element being between the adjacent edges of the two smaller plates, the horizontal housing comprising two small plates, each formed as an integral flange of one of the two smaller plates of the vertical housing, the flanges extending from the adjacent edges of the smaller plates of the vertical housing, the plates of the horizontal housing being spaced, with the horizontal gear element being in such space.
